Donald Trump has only returned to power for a week and Jon Stewart is already quite tired. On a new episode of The Daily Show He said the assault on current events was a little too much.

“I found last week exhausting,” joked Stewart. “The return to 1600 Trumpvania Avenue was as disorienting and chaotic as I imagined.”

After noting that he had hoped that the weekend would bring a feeling of peace, the late evening host played a series of clips from the stock market after emerging from Chinese AI. “I was promised a new era of American prosperity and magnitude,” said Stewart. “What happened?” He added: “Who would have expected China to do it cheaper?”

Stewart has moved to other recent news, including the “purge at the end of Friday evening” that Trump promulgated when he dismissed many general inspectors. The host simulated the confusion, entering an ax in foam under his office. “Ah! Trump inaugurated the purge, “said Stewart. “Although, just in case I interpret badly, what is this purge speaking, exactly?”

In a more serious tone, the host noted: “He got rid of 17 general inspectors?” That remains only – he doesn’t know how many things. I have no idea … The fact is: we have 17 less general inspectors. Who knows how many generals will now be not inspected? Democrats, inspire my anger, from the slightest possible possible way! »»

Stewart then broadcast a clip of democrat Chuck Schumer qualifying the abolition of Trump of Inspectors General A “blatant sign” according to which a “golden age for abuse of government and even corruption” is there. However, Stewart stressed that Trump’s actions were not exactly unconstitutional. The only error that Trump made was that he did not give 30 days notice.

“I’m sorry, what?” Said Stewart. “Apparently, you can draw them, but you should give them 30 days notice. Is that what we are upset? But this is the cycle in which we are. First law of Trump-O-dynamic: Each action is encountered with a very equal excessive reaction. Thusing our ability to know when shit becomes really real. Like last week’s pardons.

He continued, after playing clips of more democrats who become furious: “For any reason, we gave the presidents the power of a king, then we say:” Well, you are not going Make and shit on us ,? To put this in constitutional terms, if I could: do not hate the player, hate the founding fathers. Why do we even have it? Because I don’t know if you met Donald Trump, he pushes shit. “”

After having discussed Trump’s executive order to put an end to the citizenship of the dawn and that the courts overthrew it, Stewart explained that the Democrats could not continue to declare “fascism” and to hope that Things change.

“Listen, we are faced with a deluge of these executive actions and we must certainly be prepared for the most vulnerable people with the consequences of these actions,” said Stewart. “But the” everything is fascist! ” The argument has become almost a reflex for the left. »»

Stewart concluded that he is afraid that Trump’s second term could become a little “fascist” and that we “must be vigilant. However, this will require real action.

In a call to Democratic leaders, Stewart urged: “The question is probably not:” How does he dare? ” “Recognized the host. “The question should be,” What do you learn from it? ” How will you use this power? What is your contract with America? Democrats exist outside of him. Tell people what you would do with the power Trump exercises, then convince us to give you this power as soon as possible! That’s the goal! “”
